SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT

Welcome to 7th grade language arts! I am very excited to get to know you all this year. 

Just in case you lost your handout with the summer reading information, I am including it here for you.  We will start working with the novels Tuesday, September 2nd. 

Summer Reading Requirement:

You are required to read one of the following novels this summer. However, I guarantee you will enjoy them both. I also hope you read more than just two books!

           A Paradise Called Texas by Janice Jordan Shefelman

            Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

 You have no formal assignment to complete with the books, but I recommend you keep a  reading log, or use a system that works for you, to help you remember what the book is about. We will do assignments with the novels at the beginning of the school year.

Bonus activity: Keep a list of books you read over the summer. Include the author’s name and how many pages each book has. If you make a poster or do another creative activity with your list, you get to start off the year with extra points! Whoever reads the most books (verified by a parent or guardian) will win a book of their choice.
